Ralph Lauren quietly shuttered its two-year-old 20,000-square-foot store last week. Other brands are expected to close boutiques in a city that has lost its luster for cash-rich mainland Chinese tourists.

For its 63rd edition, the publication has worked with CGI artists to transform 2D photographs into 3D reliefs that were then pounded into embossed metal plates.

THE FUTURE OF PRINT?: If there’s no paper and no ink, is it still a magazine? Not that Visionaire considers itself a mere magazine per se, but for its 63rd edition — titled “Forever” — the publication has forgone traditional print mediums entirely, working with CGI artists to transform 2D photographs into 3D reliefs that were then pounded into 9 x 12-inch embossed metal plates. They’re branding the issue “indestructible” and have conveniently partnered with G-Shock, the self-proclaimed “Toughest Watch in the World.” The issue, which launches May 11 with a party co-hosted by G-Shock, comes package din an all-metal case with 10 embossed “pages,” which include a Kate Moss image by Mario Testino, Lady Gaga as captured by Inez & Vinoodh, Baptiste Giabiconi by Karl Lagerfeld, and so on.
